CODE Connects - Podcast Series

Nothing affects a child's learning more than their ability to read and write. Yet, according to the World Bank, an estimated 53% of children in low and middle-income countries cannot read proficiently by age 10.

CODE is a Canadian-based international development organization with over sixty years' experience promoting children's literacy. CODE’s podcast series shares unique perspectives, in-the-field experiences and expert opinions on the global education crisis and CODE’s response. It's available on Apple Podcast, Spotify and on CODE’s website at www.code.ngo/podcasts
